PROCESS FOR TRANSFEBRING DESIGNS.

1T0 Drawing. Application filed April 1,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gmno BonAnn Bo'rrmo, a subject of the King of Italy, resident of 4 Via Fabro, Turin, in the Kingdom of Italy, and whose post-oflice address is 4 Via Fabro, Turin (3), Italy, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Processes for Transferring Designs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a method of printing drawings or inscriptions and transferring them in an indelible manner in the heat on wood, cloth, and'other materials.

The invention comprises the preparation of the varnishes adapted to be used in ordinary printing machines and transferred, under the action of heat, from the printed sheets of paper on wood, cloth, etc., and the transfer process.

In order to prepare the varnish, the colours or' dyes (metallic oxides; are added to a mixture previously prepare in the heat of wax and paraffin dissolved in turpentine with the addition of a suitable quantity of colophony.

The following is an example of the constituents psed in preparing the varnish:

About 300 grams of wax.

About grams of paraffin.

1 liter of turpentine.

400 grams of colophony.

The quantity of colour added to the mixture varies with the more or less oily consistency of the colour.

The paper on which'the designs to be transferred are printed shall be Well sized and of strong fibre so as not to absorb an excessive amount of varnish.

In order to square off and pile up the printed sheets, these must'be dried so as to avoid an smutting or blurring.

To this e ect the sheets, once printed, are sub ected to a very fine spray of colophony.

1924. Serial in. 703,525.

The process of transferring on wood, cloth, etc.,- the designs orinscriptions printed in the above mentioned manner consists in previously moistening the sheet, this'be- .ing conveniently done by laying it on the surface of the water in a container with the printed side turned upwards. The design is then transferred by compressing ing from the spirit of the invention.

What I claim is:

1. Process for printing designs and trans ferring them on wood, cloth, eto., characterized-bv the fact that the varnishes em ployed in the preparation or' printing of the design consist of colours (metallic. oxides) with a mixtureof Wax and paraffin dissolved in turpentineto which is added colophony, such varnishes being used in ordinary printing machines the design to be transferred. I

2. Process as claimed in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the printed design is pulverized with finely subdivided colophony in order to dry the prints and to allow squaring 0E and piling up of the sheets. L

.3. Process as claimed in claims 1 and '2; wherein the printed design is first moistened and then compressed against the surface to which it is to be transferred by means of a hot press.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my inventon, I have signed my name.
